How to interview prep while getting crushed

As titled. In a “top” group at my bank but the culture is down the toilet. Recruiting is discouraged by the group yet they treat people like trash.

Looking to leave IB in the next 6 months but consistently getting crushed on multiple deals and books. Anyone pulled it off interview prepping and faking doctors appointments without severe blowback/burning bridges?
